Liechtenstein

recommendations on the best places to visit in Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein is not a significant tourist destination, but is often
included as an extension of a trip to Austria or Switzerland. The country is extremely small and lacks
significant destinations. The scenery, however, is spectacular.
From the trivia bucket, a stop here is considered a "prize" by stamp
collectors.

Liechtenstein's main attraction
- the Castle at Vaduz - is not open to tourists, but its prominence on the hillside makes it the focus of tours of
the town of Vaduz. To be honest, most travelers make a quick automobile trip through Liechtenstein to add another country to their list of countries visited.
If you have time, drive as far as you can into the mountains and find an
outdoor cafe for what should be an extremely enjoyable lunch amidst
spectacular scenery.

Vaduz

Vaduz is the capital of
Liechtenstein and the most popular tourist destination in the country.
The Royal Palace looks majestic on the ridge above the town but it not open
to the public, as it is the home of the Royal Family. The town has a few good quality restaurants and
several nice shops.

If Vaduz sounds attractive to
you, you may want to visit Balzers or Triesen, two towns that retain the
distinct Liechtenstein ambiance but are further up in the Alps.

For most tourists, the attraction
of Liechtenstein is the scenery. If you can get to the higher
elevations the mountains are even more beautiful than when seen from the
valley.

The country is very crowded
during the summer tourist season. Its limited road network and the
short distances between sites slow down traffic and
touring.
